A sT4TESM4N.S FOLLY.

The colored voters Of the South, J"
said Senator Sherman in an interview
since returning home, "are naturally
Republicans" Suppose this were true,
does it not follow, by parity Of reason
ing, that the white people of the South
are, therefore, naturally Democratsl
The distinguished gentleman, with SIM
gular obtuseness, seems to overlook
the very plain conclusion to which his
augmentation leads. If our colored
voters are NATURALLY" arrayed in solid
mass against the whites, for no other
reason than that they are moved by
race prejudice, is it not equally as "nat-
urar that the white voters should re
sent this blind, unreasoning malice on
the part of the ''nation's wardsp If a
Southern negro d1sgraces himself by
voting the Democratic ticket, does not
Southern white man disgrace himself
by voting the Republican ticketl We
are surprised that so astute a politician
as Senator Sherman, one generally so
clear-headed and circumspect, should
give expression to sentiment like the
one quoted AT the same time he not
only expresses the wish that the color
line in Southern politics may be OBJ
liberated, but declares it as his opinion
that such result will soon follow.
Therein the senator is clearly "off his
base" to use yulgarism The solid
array of colored voters is standing
menace against good local government
in every state of the South, and Sc
long as such policy is encouraged,
just so long will the white people
maintain their political organization
intact-Just so long we shall have "a
solid South" and so far from breaking
up that condition of affairs, Senator
Sherman, by his tour through Alabama
and Tennessee, has done more to make
it perpetual than any dozen Democrats
could have accomplished. For seven
bitter years the Southern people had a
taste of solid negro rule, and it would
/
be insane folly if they should disband
and return again to the terrible expert.
ence. The colored people, following
their blind and most incompetent car
pet bag leaders, first drew the line
which Senator Sherman seems in one
breath to deplore and in the next to
approve, and if he expects the white
people to be less vigilant in the pres
ence of this massed ignorance than
heretofore, he is very far removed from
the ideal we had formed of his good
sense and craftsmanship. Memphis

GOING FORTIFIED.

The transfer of the Oregon & Cali
fornia railroad to the Southern Pacific
company is matter of congratulation
for the people of this section. It
means the completion of the road to a
connection with the California route
and another great trans-continental
line connecting Oregon with the East.
The fact also that the southern Pacific
has unlimited capital and is an enter
prising company leads us to believe
that the Roseburg-Coos Bay road
will be undertaken and pushed to CON-
pletion by that corporation. But be
that as it may it is a most feasible
route to an excellent harbor through a
splendid timber and mineral country,
the fact remains that the completion
Of the o. d G. r. r. will be of great
benefit to Roseburg and Douglas
county.
The fact that this section has never
had any great boom but has grown
rather by steady growth is owing to
large extent to the limited railroad
facilities, but with great transconti
mental line coming from California, it is
to be expected that the long dormant
resources of Douglas county will be
thoroughly developed. With the fin,
est climate, splendid water power, the
| very best wool in the world, excellent
timber and mineral resources, fine
farming and grazing land old Douglas
is bound to boom and Roseburg to
lead the van. In fact our climate has
become commodity and there is un-
limited sources of it. The mildness of
the winters, the cool nights of summer
go to make in this regard ali that can
be desired. A large immigration may
be expected from the bleak and chilly
states of the east and the old west.
Now is the time to prepare for the
coming boom. Douglas county with
its 1850 square miles of territory
an empire in itself larger than the
state of Connecticut-is yet undevel-
oped in comparison with what the fu-
ture has in store, and the completion
of the o. & G. r. R. will be the begin
ming Of our prosperity.
Already the hard times that have
enyeloped Oregon for the past FIVE
years are beginning to give way to
brighter and better era The dawn of
future prosperity is upon us. Let our
enterprising citizens take advantage of
the new condition of things and push
matters forward. We have the very
finest county On the globe and THE
REVIEW proposes to advertise the. fact
to all the world.
